Who we are and what we do?

Making A Difference For You, Inc. (MAD4YU) is a grass-roots, Virginia-based 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization providing life enrichment services to underprivileged and ‘fringe‘ populations. The name reflects its very purpose:  making a difference for you.

That is – providing the tools for success  – using computer literacy and study skills as the catalyst – to equip those who otherwise might not have access. Utilizing ‘MAD-ly’ committed and talented volunteers as agents of change. Our volunteers are very qualified and represent numerous backgrounds, military/veterans, professionals, entrepreneurs, persons with disabilities, college grads, college students, and even middle and high school honor students.

The acronym MAD4YU signifies the passion and unwavering commitment towards accomplishing that objective: MAD, and motivated enough to provide life enrichment services and programs – For You.

We Love Our Volunteers!

Mission:

To Inspire with Courage, Spirit, and Hope.

To strengthen the Greater Richmond area, surrounding counties, and their communities by providing computer literacy and study skills to low-income families, adults, and active senior citizens, resulting in: increased job readiness, reduced dropout rates, reduced homelessness, and increased independence.

Vision: 

To Promote Strength and Unity.

Objective and Purpose: To provide individuals with the opportunity to win! To help individuals – no matter their status in life – to gain equal opportunity to win and to reach their highest potential through knowledge and individualized training.

Since 2015, MAD4YU has provided FREE tutoring, life enhancement, and computer training to under-resourced individuals in Richmond and surrounding counties and families (youth 1st-12th, adults, and active seniors) with collaborations, donations, contributions, and assistance of committed and talented volunteers as agents of change.

While we have made some great strides, Making a Difference for You still has much to accomplish.
